Its the 'Kite Surf SUP' Super Jet Kayak.
Will be on offer for rescue duties at any WAKSA event its needed.
Probably be looking for drivers . Might have to set up a wait list
Check it at Kitestock - we might even let you have a spin.
I am very concerned that you actually purchased this Puppet....can we all say midlife crisis ?
beats the heck out of a lame sportscar tho...
Mmm looked interesting so I did a little search, they don't start using it till around the 2 minute mark.
Weight is too far to back, hence the bouncing action.
Can hear the screams of back pain in a very short time.
excellent idea puppet
I seen a couple of years ago that coffs habour life saving club were trialling a similar thing.
The moment I seen it I new it would be great to have sitting on the shore for those offshore days just in case sh!t happens but usually don't
would allow to get on the water more I reckon
How heavy is it, could one person drag it into the water?
Hey puppet, that machine is classic, So much better than A H ardly D rivable motorbike. What engine, a rotary? what capacity, how heavy? Looks just big enough to rescue a kite and board on and float the rider. Did you buy it or was it a demo at the boat show.
With the season we have had so far, why not.... I could use it for drop-net crabbing in the mandurah estruary too. Does it have a death-leash?
The ultimate goatboat.
17K for a good jetski, good question, puppet how much? you sit a lot lower so you wouldnt get tipped sideways, when rescuing someone. A decent Cheaper??? rescue craft.
Be great for vids on flattish water if you can steer and accelerate with one hand.
We will be installing a stainless steel mesh 'line guard' over the intake port to prevent lines from screwing the impellar. This will probably cost quite a lot of performance but you dont need to do 60kph when ur using it for work.
Might just make it removable for hooning sessions.
As you can guess Im pretty stoked with this new little 'toy'. Oops I mean 'tool'
"No Dear! Im only buying it cos its an essential element of the school operation"
I agree with Slave..........last thing we need is more noise and stinking crap on the water............lovely.... not. Another step in the direction of ruining your local.
I put them in the same basket as leaf blowers.
As someone with a keen eye for detail pointed out today.
"...see and this is what happens when a goat boat and a jetski have unprotected sex."
Soon to become the most hated water transport at a beach near you!
That is to jet skis what the recumbent bike is to bikes.
I ****ing hate recumbent bikes. Classic example of fixing somethin that ain't broke, or being different for the sake of being different and at the expense of practicality and common sense. They don't do anything to harm me and I'm sure the people on them are having fun, so part of me says good on 'em. But I just can't help but feel an urge to throw a steel bar through their spokes when I see them.
awesome
why on earth would you not just use a rubber ducky ( surf club style ) with a 25hp .........
it will be cheaper than that thing
safer than that thing and a jet ski
you can carry gear in a ducky.........
and ......you can actually rescue someone...and heaven forbid provide cpr or any other medical help that may be required.
I cant see a noob being able to drag themselves out of the water onto the back of a jetski if they are injured, or there is any sort of swell or you have boards and kites.
